Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nucleic acid-based electrochemical detection involves the generation of an electrical signal mediated by nucleic acid hybridization and serves as the basis for DNA detection technology, for which the detection of DNA hybridization by means of biosensors (genosensors) is a topic of major scientific and technological interest. Recent advances in the electrochemical detection of nucleic acids have allowed the development of novel types of genosensors. Sequence-specific DNA detection has been a topic of significant interest for its application in the diagnosis of pathogenic and genetic diseases, among other fields. Extensive research has been fueled by the need for practical, robust, and highly sensitive and selective detection devices that can address the deficiencies of conventional technologies.

For this Special Issue, we invite you to share new electrochemical perspectives on genosensor design and recent applications in the form of original research or review articles. We hope that by showcasing a range of different strategies from researchers around the world, the reader will gain insight into the cutting-edge advancements that are taking place in this field, as well as develop an appreciation of the strengths (and limitations) of current technologies. We look forward to your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
